Winger "logic": If Mary O.McCarthy hires a good lawyer, she must be guilty

CIA VS. THE WHITE HOUSE: TY COBB AIN’T NO BENCHWARMER
CATEGORY: CIA VS. THE WHITE HOUSE

The Mary McCarthy story just took a fascinating turn with the revelation that high powered criminal attorney Ty Cobb has taken on McCarthy as a client.

What is significant about Mr. Cobb is that he defended some of the highest profile criminals in the Clinton Administration including cabinet officers, a White House staffer, and a former Senator:

Represents the chief financial officer of major public company in an SEC investigation of significant restatement and alleged misconduct. (Jeff Skilling?)

Represented the United States Olympic Committee in connection with the DOJ investigation into the Salt Lake City, Utah Olympics.

Represented The Honorable Eli Segal, a former Clinton Cabinet official, in an Independent Counsel investigation resulting in his exoneration and an award of attorney’s fees.

Represented a high ranking White House official in Congressional and DOJ investigations involving the White House Travel Office.

Represented a former U.S. Senator and, separately, a member of the First Lady’s staff in connection with the Congressional and Independent Counsel investigations into “Whitewater.”

Represented other Cabinet and Cabinet level officials on three separate occasions in DOJ investigations.

Represented a former Commerce Department official and Democratic National Committee official, John Huang, in connection with Congressional and DOJ investigations (and related civil actions) involving campaign finance and the Clinton-Gore campaign of 1996.

If someone would fill in those blank names (too busy this AM) I would appreciate it.

The point is, why does little ole whistleblower Mary McCarthy rate such heavy Democratic party artillery? Especially if she’s not under indictment. Especially if the case hasn’t been referred to the Justice Department.



<Gee, do you think it might be because the Bushists have policitized most of the justice system as well as the CIA?>

6. Didn't the Bush boy and Cheney "lawyer up" when the Plame investigation

started?

(In their case, of course, it WAS because they're guilty...) ;)

2. Then the same applies to Bush*, Rove, Cheney... everyone has an attorney.

5. Winger logic: If Mary McC voted Democratic, she must be a terrorist

If she did it, she deserves to tried, convicted, sentenced, pardoned and decorated as a hero.

7. If Ms. McCarthy hires a good lawyer, then Ms. McCarthy is one smart

cookie.

There are very likely some REAL nasty widewinding blood-dripping-off-their-teeth monsters aligned against her.

My gut says she's innocent.

At the very least, she's innocent until somebody proves otherwise.

And her accusors don't have a pristine standing in public service, in my opinion.

8. And if she dies when they burn her she isn't a witch.

9. Who's defending Karl Rove, the Public Defender?
